Down Under Helicopters are one of Tropical North Queensland's most exciting tourism operators, providing unlimited aerial access to some of the best views, and the most awesome sights, in the world.

Imagine soaring over the world's oldest continually surviving rainforests, before skimming over the sparkling, azure waters of the Coral Sea, with the majestic Great Barrier Reef spreading out beneath you in every direction, a shimmering, living organism; these are the sights featured in just one of many day-tour options available with Down Under Helicopters.

Operating daily from Cairns, Down Under Helicopters services the entire North Queensland region and offers an amazing array of touring options. Enjoy a scrumptious picnic on a secluded sand cay, a spectacular scenic flight over the Reef and Rainforest, or try one of our full or half day packages to the Reef, complete with a scenic flight and cruise in conjunction with the vessel ‘Osprey V'.

Alternatively, come fly one of our helicopters yourself! Down Under Helicopters is a subsidiary of Heli Charters Australia, whose family of operations also includes The Cairns Helicopter School.
